La Crosse Technology BC-9009 AlphaPower Battery Charger Review
I use this set few month now. Like it a lot. It did it suppose to do as stated. Couple users already mention that it won’t charge the “bad” battery. I have 16 Lenmar rechargeable batteries, 13 of them shown “null”. I then use the spare Energizer old charger to charge them for few minutes, then switch to this LaCrosse charger. Turn out these batteries aren’t dead yet, but close to. My 2000mAh Lenmar batteries were down to 40mAh at first recharge. It took long time to refresh all of them. But this charger brings them back to 400-600mAh. It still far from 2000mAh, but they are better than nothing. I have no problem to refresh other brand batteries. My summary: This is a very good charger. Keep the old one handy when you purchase this one. Also, don’t buy Lanmar batteries. You get what you paid.
The charger is very good as said by other reviewer. I noticed one problem during usage: ther charger refuse to charge over-discharged batteries. These batteries’ voltage are near 0 volt. The charge simply display NULL. My other chargers can charge these without problem. I must use other chargers charge them for half minutes and then use this charger to charge them. This is very annoying!
Compared to the standard chargers available at local box stores, that have little or none of the features of the LaCrosse, this charger is great value. It charges well, gives ample information on the battery, the charge, and everything in between. The only reason it’s not getting 5 stars is the ease of use is not as good as it could be. Slightly more confusing instructions than need to be, other than that, a great charger.
I bought the BC-900 just over a month ago to replace my hobby grade charger. It has been of the best and easiest to use charger. Each battery cell gets a own charge. So when one of them is done, the rest still keep charging until they are done too. Some of the features are over-heat procetion, negative delta peak detection (peak charger or smart charging), Cycle mode (discharges battery then recharges), Charge, Test mode (charges, then discharges, and re-charges again), and Refresh mode (cycle charges the battery many times). Over specs I’ve seen while charging. It discharges battery cells to .9V before charging. Can only charge up to 3700 mah before it stops (gives room for when more MAH capicity come in the future and a over-charge protection). Charges both Ni-Cad and Ni-MH batteries. When discharging, the charger uses a 2:1 method. So a 500ma charge will discharge at 250ma. When setting for a discharge, set the current at half of the willing charge rate. A tip that I recommend when charging batteries. Try to set the charge rate so that battery reaches full capcity in 4-6 hours. So a 2000-2500mah would be 500ma and older 800-1200mah would be 200ma. This helps prevent unwanted heat build-up and gives the battery a longer life than when fast charging at rates of 1000ma or 1800ma
